Country

Garth Brooks may be coming to a drive in near us. And he wants us to pay $100 a car to see him. And fans are saying take my money please!

It's the time of year when the Missouri State Fair starts revealing some of the grandstand shows.

Science says listening to new music is good for you. However, I can tell you as a radio programmer, many of us stop listening to new music as we age.

Missouri State Fair Director Mark Wolfe today announced two more nights of country concerts for the 2015 concert line-up.  Legendary country band Alabama will be performing in the Pepsi Grandstand on Aug. 21 with opener Michael Ray and John Michael Montgomery will take the stage on Aug. 18 ...

Some of country music's biggest acts have come together to cover a batch of Motley Crue classics for an upcoming tribute album -- and if that sounds like a weird idea to you, Vince Neil knows exactly how you feel.

It's no surprise that we, the fine folks of West Central Missouri, enjoy our country way of life. Most of our lives involve the country lifestyle. Whether it's farming, hunting, fishing or just being outdoors. So when the work is over and you want to have a good time, which local country bar do you prefer?

Who would have guessed that a throwaway track called 'Rock Me, Mama' that Bob Dylan wrote for the 1973 'Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid' soundtrack would one day be nominated for a Country Music Awards Single of the Year?

Tom Petty may credit country music with part of the Heartbreakers' signature sound, but he doesn't mean today's country music, which he recently called, among other things, “bad rock with a fiddle." Now Chris Stapleton, a country-music songwriter, has thrown down the gauntlet.

Kids, you and I both know that there are new country singers every day. There are some that work, and some that... well, don't.  Let's be clear before I start in on this. When I'm referring to these people, I mean folks who started out in either rock or pop music, had some success there, and are now doing country music. Some have had bigger successes than others.

Kids, this week several of the country acts that are coming to the 2013 Missouri State Fair this year have been confirmed.  But none of the alternative or non-country acts have been named yet. So that makes me ask: pie in the sky, in an ideal world, who would you want the State Fair to bring to the concert stage?
